Volunteer: Volunteer Truck Driver/Distributor

If you have a vehicle and some flexible hours, you could help us pick up food at local farms and farmers markets and get that good food to agencies in your area!  Pick ups are often easiest for larger deliveries, but vans, SUVs and cars can help distribute smaller amounts to smaller agencies.  Opportunities arise on short notice, as farmers find they have good, edible food that isn't marketable, and they need to clear it out.   Volunteers drive to farms, farmers load the food, and agencies help unload.
